Glad so many showed up to protect people's rights. Apparently 2 were detained. For the people who were released, what an awful and irrational thing to scare them with. People got texts yesterday afternoon to come from miles away to Tukwila today or risk deportation.

Police officers so often go home and beat their own families that new SPD Chief Shon Barnes has to say stuff like this to officers after a protest. I mean, I'm sure it does need to be said. But if there was any doubt about what these men consistently act like both on and off the clock ...

If you're in the Tukwila area, go to the ICE field office tomorrow. They're texting this out to immigrants and look to be using #NoKingsDay to do mass kidnappings. This is coming from multiple credible sources. 12500 Tukwila International Blvd. (Reposting with correct location)

I dont have Tiktok but per @hannahkrieg.bsky.social ICE is sending text messages to ppl telling them to go to their field office in Tukwila tomorrow. This is how they trap ppl. If you can, show up between 8 am to 4 pm to expose ICE. www.instagram.com/reel/DK3GQtm...

Watching this meeting was an exercise in frustration. The ball is in the school board's court re police in schools, but regardless, voters are going to have to decide whether they're okay with their levy tax dollars potentially going to SPD in addition to a lot of critical education investments.

My latest for @theurbanist.org about King County's permanent supportive housing initiative: in 2024 the program showed improved health outcomes for its residents and 95% of its PSH residents stayed housed over the course of the year. Happy to be reporting some positive news.

More than 140,000 people were deported from the U.S. in President Donald Trump’s first three months in office. Many of those people left behind teenagers who are now graduating from high school without their parents in the audience to cheer them on and celebrate their accomplishment.
